Student Council president, David Van Eenenaam, escorted Ethelanne Peelen, May Queen of 1956, as she descended from her throne to make way for Virginia Vanderborgh, May Queen of 1957. Queen Vir-ginia reigned over the Lilac Lane Banquet which followed the cere-mony.

The new Alcor women were es-corted down the aisle by this year 's

Alcor members. The new Alcor members a re : Janice Blunt, Jane Gouwens, Joyce Leighley, Jane Mac Eachron, Janice Peck, Frances Roundhouse, Lynn Van't Hof and Sheryl Yntema.

This year ' s Alcor Scholarship was received by Ruth Voss.

Anchor Policy /Te believe that a college newspaper should be three things: an

objective reporter of the news, a stimulator of student thought, and a

means for the expression of student and faculty opinion on controversial

subjects. To the latter end, we invite letters to the editor, which we will

print if the letter does not violate good taste and if space permits.

Needless to say, the thoughts expressed in such letters can reflect only

the views of the author, and cannot be supposed to be representative of

the opinions of either the staff of the Anchor or the student body as a

whole. Signed editorials may be considered expressions of staff opinion,

and we invite disagreement with them. We are not trying to force our

opinions on anyone. As we see it, our one editorial mission is to cause

our readers to think about what we say.

From the Dean's Desk I appreciate the invitation extended to me by the Anchor Editor to

write the final editorial of the 1956-1957 school year. As we look back upon the closing year we must conclude tha t it

has been of more than average significance. We have had our "f irsts" in sports, in speech, in scholarships, in ratings. These are sat isfying rewards and should give us a sense of accomplishment. The poet may have been wrong when he said, "It is easy to become good," but he certainly spoke t ru thful ly when he said, " I t is difficult to remain good." The rewards and achievements of this year must awaken in us the desire to do even bet ter in the future.

As we reflect upon the activities of the year, I recall especially the remark one student made to me. He expressed himself as follows: "I am get t ing a very poor g rade in one of my courses, and naturally I do not like that . But I am not complaining, for I am learning a grea t deal in this course. A whole new world of ideas is opening before me, and it makes me feel good inside." This is the t rue measure of a s tudent 's success, and the t rue glory of a college. Here is evidence of first class intellectual activity, of strong, exciting learning, without which, no mat ter how zealous we may have been in other matters, the year will be found wanting.

College means new horizons, new meanings, new enthusiasms. These will not be found until the meaning of life itself has been clarified in terms of the Christian fa i th ; yet the fai th is not a sufficient condition for establishing the meaning in its t rues t and fullest sense. The college must build the superstructure upon the foundation laid by home and church, so tha t there may be a constant supply of men and women ready to work patiently in the stations where God has placed them, each in his own sphere, s t ruggling to work out what it means to be a Christian in t ha t place. Many of these stations are in the area of culture, of social and governmental service, of international relations, where pious resolutions born outside of a knowledge gained by the study of the intellectual disciplines may do more harm than good. The Christian voice will be heard in these areas, if and only if, the college has t aught you how to express the fa i th in the life of culture.

Today the world is engaged in a battle f o r the mind of man. To win this battle Church and College must join hands. I t will, therefore, be another proud day in the history of Hope College when, on the morning of June 3, the class of 1957 will receive the Bachelor's Degree and the nod of approval f rom President Lubbers. Class of 1957, may the lustre of tha t crowning hour have significance for both heaven and ear th! And to all undergraduates we extend a cordial invitation to re turn to us in September to continue the immortal search for the t ruth you possess.

LETTER T O THE EDITOR Dear Edi tor :

On the evening of May 1 the Science Department opened its doors to the high schools of the surrounding locality in order that high school students might have an opportunity to see the college's approach to science. Over 300 stu-dent, instructors and Hope students took advantage of this opportunity and spent a few hours observing various demonstrations i l lustrating biological, chemical, and physical principles. Comments f rom those at tending along with the obvious interest shown tend to indicate tha t the program was well re-ceived.

The success of this venture can be at tr ibuted to many people who devoted their time and effort to-wards its preparation and presenta-tion. These people are to be com-plimented for their fine work, for without their efforts a Science Open House could never have been possi-ble.

It is my hope tha t those who attended this program obtained an insight into the activities of col-lege science students and tha t they have a better understanding of what science purports to achieve. If this has been accomplished then this type of program should con-tinue in fu tu re years and meet the challenge of these ideals.

Sincerely yours, Maurice Loomans Chairman Science Open House

CATER TO HOPE STUDENTS

Exaugural Address by retiring Student Council

President, David Van Eenenaam

In organizing this report I have decided to include two sections; one dealing with the activities of our council, and one section relat-ing what I believe should constitute the general philosophy of a s tudent government.

In the past year our council has realized a few objectives, but a t the same time we have neglected a number of problems that should have been investigated. The Col-lege date book is now on its way to becoming an organized and use-ful asset to the campus community. In the fu ture , however, more im-provements can be made; including the weekly publication of a pamph-let in which are listed the impor-tant established "goings on" of that part icular period, as well as a definite heirarchy by which cer-tain dates are precedent to others. The insurance plan, which had been under study last year, experi-enced its first year of actual opera-tion. Over two hundred students subscribed and a number of claims submitted and paid. This program should certainly be continued and expanded in the years to come. Its advantages cannot be over-emphasized. This year also saw the Hope College student council operating under the new constitu-tion. I t has proved useful, but I sincerely believe tha t it demands more study and evaluation. I, my-self, am not certain tha t our sys-tem of representat ion is fool-proof. The council misses the strong leadership exhibited previously by class officers even though the class organization is not strong enough to merit representat ion on the council. Perhaps this may prove an incentive fo r the classes to be-come more closely united; for in the post-graduate years we are not primarily remembered as being a member of a certain sorority or f ra te rn i ty but as a graduate of the class of a specified year. The use of the civic center this year proved very practical and should be pro-mulgated in the fu ture . Our en-rollment is steadily increasing as well as relative interest in the activities of the college. Remember to contract dates of events as early as possible. Our committee system this year was also a new experi-ment. I t proved effective, but I be-lieve tha t duties of grea ter sig-nificance should be laid in their hands. This would give them more to do and grea te r respect and au-thority. An evaluation of NSA and MACSG should be careful ly carried out. NSA is useful only if enthusiasm is raised through a dynamic leader. I believe tha t more emphasis should be placed in our MIAA association. We have in this respect a fine s tar t f o r next year. Our activities have much in common with those of other Church related Colleges in Michigan and much can be gained by s i t t ing in and par t ic ipat ing in discussions with these colleges. The cultural programming this year has been excellent. The caliber of programs has been raised as well as the genuine interest of the student body. More intensified publicity will increase the student at tend-

ance. We did nothing this year

about the possibility of using stu-

dent counselors. It might be well if

in the fu tu re an upper class coun-

selor were assigned to incoming

freshmen to impress upon him the

importance of a college education

as well as helping him decide the

courses which to take and t rying to show him how a Hope College student is expected to act. We realize how busy the faculty mem-bers are and have been, perhaps this may alleviate some of their re-sponsibility and at the same time strengthen our counseling system. I have also suggested tha t a cor-responding secretary be included in the executive committee. The coun-cil receives much mail and I myself have neglected some of it. I t would also be to a great advantage if more regular executive meetings were held. A definite agenda could then be decided and p o s t e d prior to the following meeting. The members of the council would then be aware of the proceedings in advance and perhaps feel out stu-dent opinion before the date of the meeting. Through the suggestion of one of our advisors. Dean Hinga, it was thought tha t one of our weekly Chapel services could be used for general announcement and orientation purposes. I hope tha t a plan such as this will be carried out. It would be the only time tha t the student body could be contacted in its entirety. I hope tha t I have included everything in this section. A few things I have undoubtedly excluded. At this point I would like to insert the importance of working closely with the adminis-tration. Often times we students do not realize the impact tha t certain legislation might make up-on the student body, the commun-ity, or the Reformed Church. Re-member to listen to those who have had much more experience and dealings with Student Govern-ment. Please do not think tha t I am belittling our council, but I know for a fact tha t more things can be accomplished through close association with the administration.

An at t i tude of antagonism will result in little if no positive re-sults. This is not a compromise of principle, but ra ther an acceptance of the philosophy of the educa-tional community here at Hope. Respect . experience as a valuable element in the decision making process.

The goals and objects of a stu-dent government I believe are as follows. It must provide for the student body an environment which will be conducive to the intellectual growth of the college commun-ity. This environment includes academic, cultural, athletic and social affairs, for each plays an important role in this process. With an effective student government student needs can be accurately analyzed and proposed solutions can be presented effectively to the appropriate groups. I believe the most significant purpose of a col-lege student council is str iving to contribute to the total college pro-gram. These aims of our council must be clearly defined. Only those persons willing to tackle and real-ize these objectives should call themselves members of the Hope College Student Council.

Week-loDg Celebration To Honor Michigan

A vast majori ty of the state 's 7,516,000 citizens will participate in the fourth annual Michigan Week celebration to be held from May 19-25.

K. T. Keller, general chairman of the 1957 Michigan Week, has urged everyone to take par t in some phase of the widespread ob-servance. In this way citizens may become better acquainted with Michigan's unlimited advantages and opportunities.

Millions of words will be printed about Michigan and millions will be spoken • over radio and T.V. Throughout the state signs, ban-ners, placards and other materials will repeat the slogan, " I t ' s Great To Live In Michigan". The state flag with the Michigan coat-of-arms on a field of blue will be seen in more places than ever before.

One can hardly name an event that isn't being planned somewhere in the s ta te during the week. There will be parades, forums, beauty contests, clean up campaigns, sports events, and hundreds of other un-dertakings p l a n n e d throughout Michigan.

Even the churches are observing the spiritual foundations of the state on Sunday, May 19. On Heri tage Day the heritage of the state and its people will be recog-nized in educational institutions f rom the elementary schools to the grea t universities.

This week has been proclaimed by the governor. It is unique in the nation as no other s ta te holds such an annual celebration. Hos-pitality will be stressed, so that visitors will receive a warm wel-come everywhere.

We must observe the past and the present, but let's think even fu r ther , to a grea ter Michigan in the years tha t lie ahead.

Van Zyl Recognizes

Cancer Chemotheraphy The Hope College Chemistry De-

par tment received another honor recently when the Head of the Department, Dr. G. Van Zyl, at-tended a " re t rea t " held a t Bald-win, Michigan in response to an invitation he received f rom the Chemistry Panel of the Cancer Chemotherapy National S e r v i c e Center.

The purpose of this " r e t r e a t " as the invitation stated was "to ac-quaint a selected group of chemists with the current s ta tus of the chemotherapy of cancer."

A few of the schools represented at the " re t rea t " were Yale Uni-versity, University of Michigan, University of California at Los A n g e l e s , Vanderbilt University, Columbia University, Rice Insti-tue, Ohio State University and Hope College.

The speakers a t this " r e t r ea t " were all authorities on various aspects of cancer and they en-deavored to stimulate new interest in the synthesizing of new com-pounds which can be used to com-bat cancer.

• This represents one of the many similar invitations Van Zyl receives every year, a fac t which certainly compliments the s ta tus of the Hope College Chemistry Depar tment in the nation.

Frosh Debut Stars Brand New Sorority

On Monday, May 13, twenty-five f reshmen girls received bids to be-come charter members of the new sorority formed by the Pan-Hell-enic Board to meet the demands of the increasing enrollment.

A f t e r the meeting the girls went to look at the Milestone room in Van Vleck Hall which will be ready fo r their use next fall . Enthusi-astically, they began to ga ther ideas fo r a name, a song and a constitution. The members will be busy working out other organiza-tional problems during the summer.

M A C S G Directed Here By Brown

The Michigan Association of College Student Governments is a comparatively new organization, designed to draw closer together the member colleges so tha t they may compare and share their com-mon and individual problems. The present members of the organiza-tion are Adrian College, Albion College, Alma College, Hillsdale College, Hope College and Kalama-zoo and Olivet Colleges.

On Monday, May 20th at the annual Student Council Retreat , Hope College representative and Vice-President of the MACSG, Dick Brown, led a discussion con-cerning both the NSA and MACSG. It is hoped tha t MACSG will com-pletely replace the NSA eventually because of its g rea te r efficiency and more unified efforts.

Regular meetings of the MACSG are to be held bi-annually At these meetings each participating college is represented by three members who present recommendations and problems for discussion.

On campuses which correspond in size to each other as do member colleges of the MACSG, there tends to be a certain similarity in the situations faced by the respective student councils. Because of this it is fel t tha t an organization such as this will be beneficial to its members. In this a sat isfactory solution may be arrived at with much time being saved.

Along with the factors which aid the various schools, there is also an intense desire on the par t of the member colleges to draw together in a closer relationship. One method of securing this de-sired end is through a Sportsman-ship Trophy which is being spon-sored by the MACSG. This t rophy will be awarded to a member school by the Executive Board of the Michigan Intercollegiate Ath-letic Association.

Another proposed method to strengthen the relationship is a Newsletter which is in the process of being published. The Newsletter consists of news f rom the various colleges and is correlated in such a fashion as to be of interest to the member in its entirity.

The third method to create a closer relationship is the exchange of minutes f rom the student gov-ernment meetings of each of the colleges. In this way the colleges can see the problems the other schools are facing and also the methods by which they are seeking to solve these problems.

Three new colleges have been invited to at tend a special meeting at the Olds Hotel in Lansing on September 29, 1957, in hopes the MACSG will acquire them as new members. They are Aquinas and Calvin Colleges f rom Grand Rapids, Ferr is Inst i tute f rom Big Rapids, and Immanuel Missionary College f rom Berrien Springs.

The MACSG is already active on Hope's campus, Dick Brown is working with our entire council to increase interest in this organi-zation. Hope has been the f i rs t of the seven members to create two new offices — corresponding secre-tary, Bob DeForest and official delegate. Gene Klaaren.

Worship Group Spreads Cheer

One evening each week fo r the past year, a small group of men has been visiting two places very seldom frequented by the average Hope student — the Ebenezer and the Mulder Nurs ing Homes. The visits a re the result of an idea first conceived by the chaplain of the Emersonian f ra te rn i ty , Milford Decker. While planning f r a t de-votions at the beginning of the year, it occurred to him tha t there might be people in the community who could also benefit f rom the devotions prepared by the f r a t e r -nity members fo r their meetings.

With the cooperation of the superintendents of Holland's two nursing homes, Mr. Decker and his colleagues began giving short de-votional services for the elderly patients living in the homes.

The services, held al ternately in the two homes, have usually con-sisted of a meditation, prayer and a number of hymns. Special music has also been occasionally provided, both fo r regular meetings and for the special Christmas and Eas te r programs.

French Club Picnics

At Kollen Park Le Cercle Francais met on May

14 in Kollen Park fo r the last time this year over a picnic supper.

It was agreed to elect officers in the fal l of the coming year. An a t tempt to imitate the Frenchman was carried through in their speak-ing and their eating. Like him they had a six inch piece of bread cut f rom a long loaf, potato salad, sardines, salami, cheese, bananas, and peti ts ga taux sees. Unlike him they drank g rape punch and spoke French slowly, incorrectly, or not at all.

Hamlet The Mysterious by Dorothy Skinner

I suppose it is somewhat irre-levant fo r me to choose Hamlet as a character for interpretat ion, considering how much has already been said about him by various notables. However, this very fac t is what makes his character so interesting, fo r although there is much speculation on the interpre-tation, the conclusions drawn are so varied t ha t one has to weed out the illogical and come to his own conclusions, tho' i t 's bet ter to be r ight . The following report is a selection of the various ideas with which I have come in contact either verbally or through reading. Out of them I have tried to come to some kind of conclusion — if only in my own mind — as to what basic ideas underlie Hamlet.

Hamlet is a complex character. He is expected to be revengeful , but he is sensitive. This incon-grui ty in itself explains many of his actions. He has been at col-lege, although the conversation be-tween him and his old college bud-dies seems to point out tha t while there he was more interested in the social than the academic as-pects of life there. In fac t , it was stated in one source tha t it was considered improper for a prince to be a scholar. His role as ruler was to be more physical than mental.

Basically, he is a composite of three beings — an inner self which is bent by the action of the play, an outer self with its exchanged courtesies, l o v e making, a n d feigned madness; and a former self shown by his life before his lessons in intrigue had cut his character in pieces.

Insights into Hamlet 's inner be-ing and t rue personality are given in two ways — through his solilo-quies, and through his interaction with and reaction to the other char-acters in the play. Through them his normal character is shown apa r t f rom the conditions of the play. One par t of him which is shown quite clearly is his naivete of judgment concerning the mo-tives of those around him. Af t e r he finds out about the king's t reachery he becomes suspicious of

even Ophelia and his trusted old friends, misunderstanding the mo-tives behind their actions toward him. In fact , he is so wrapped up in himself and his own problems tha t he fails to be attentive to Ophelia and her feelings, let alone her motives, even though he is, or was, deeply in love with her.

Hamlet is a man of easy cour-tesy as shown by his conversation with the soldiers in the first act and his gentlemanly manners with Osric. He is gay and genial to his old fr iends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern as he discusses with them their happier days a t college. For Fort inbras he has nothing but the deepest respect and admiration, for in him he saw a man he wished to be. In the gravedigging scene he demonstrates two att i tudes — a meditative excess uncommon in the ideal prince of the day, and a kind-ness and understanding toward the peasantry — also not too common. Although he yielded to passion with Laertes, his sense of values was gradually deepening through his relationship with Horatio. In his dialogue with this fr iend he shows a tendency to generalize, which was also one of his common acts.

In all these relationships Hamlet is portrayed as an ideal hero — brave, young, king — and yet he meets a t ragic end. Why? More-over, if he was so brave why didn't he carry out his threa ts made at the time of the ghost 's revelation instead of delaying action fo r so long? This is the question which has been debated fo r over three centuries. I cannot answer it, but I will present what I consider the most logical explanation I have found.

The incongruity of the play in itself makes it difficult to come swift ly to a successful revenge conclusion. Hamlet , a sensitive, educated, melancholic prince is placed in a revenge plot which was designed for a firey, choleric prince who would not let other feelings interfere with his vengeance. Ham-let is caught in the s tr i fe between honor and justice which is brought into the play in several instances. Fort inbras and Laertes are very much interested in upholding their honor to the exclusion of all else.

Hamlet realizes this and admires them in a way, but he cannot bring himself to excluding justice f rom his mind. To him justice fo r all is more important than his own personal honor and he s t ruggles for his r ight of individuality.

Lastly, the prince is not ful ly convinced upon his first conversa-tion with the ghost tha t it is not just a devil t ry ing to induce him into some sort of crime. While he is hunting fo r a way in which to prove the accusation and deal with both Claudius and his mother he re t rea t s behind a mask of mad-ness so that any slips of the tongue which he might make in the meantime would be disre-garded.

As soon as he is convinced of the king's guilt, he ceases to stall, the action speeds up and becomes fas t and furious. Immediately fol-lowing the play Hamlet goes to see his mother, passing the king at prayer . He doesn't kill him then because it would not be jus-tice fo r his soul to go to Heaven a f t e r his murderous action. He talks to his mother mercilessly un-til reprimanded by the ghost, for-giving her then for any par t she might have played. Thinking Claudius was hiding behind the arras , he strikes, but kills only old Polonius. As he is hiding the body, probably to give him a little more time to carry out his revenge, Claudius comes to his wife. Know-ing now that Hamlet is convinced of his murder, he puts him under a r res t and sends him to England before he has a chance to kill him. As soon as Hamlet re turns he goes to the king and the final bloody scene results.

Hamlet has one main relation to the other characters — they are all seen f rom his viewpoint. Ophelia is seen only as the girl he loves, not as the daughter of Polonius of the sister of Laertes; Gertrude is his mother, neither a wife nor a queen; and Claudius ceases to be a king and becomes an antagonist and villain. Hamlet is used to bring out the personalities of the characters just as they are used to bring out his. Later tes is his foil in one part icular aspect, as is For t inbras — they both take their revenge whole-heartedly, w h i l e Hamlet does it more or less re-luctantly.

Much of the real character and importance of Hamlet is le f t up to the audience, and the g rea t difficulty comes in t ry ing to inter-pret it as the Elizabethans would have. The important thing for the modern reader to do is to look a t the play f rom this standpoint.

Honest Sargent lago Character Study by Ben Tullar

It is my most humble opinion tha t the character of lago of Shakespeare 's Othello, the Moor of Venice, can be explained in the light of contemporary culture and social motivation. It has been stated t ha t lago is a "motiveless maligni ty" and tha t his role in the t ragedy of Othello is "the motive hunting of a motiveless malignity". I think t ha t the motives of lago 's action arise out of his nature and are presented in full in the first act and in the scene of Othello's arrival in Cyprus. These motives do not require the full course of action until lago discovers to him-self the ease with which he can accomplish his first goal, the dis-grace of Cassion and the prejudice of Othello. It is this quality of malignant growth in lago which is responsible for the tragedy. lago is the prime mover of all the t ragic circumstances and misfortune of the play. Without lago, the play would be an historical narrat ive about Othello going to the aid of Cypriots against the Ottoman Em-pire.

lago is a small, unimaginative, deceitful man who has made a career of killing, spit-polishing and doing obsequious favors for super-iors. He wants higher rank, an inspiring concubine and a chance to be big and powerful. He resents his infer ior class s ta tus and has typical prejudice against minority races. He believes tha t he is not rejected fo r the lieutenancy by Othello because he is not qualified but because he had not presented himself early enough or that poli-tical reasons are responsible fo r the appointment of the mathe-matician, Cassio, to second in com-mand. lago is certain that his qualifications and experience make him superior to Cassio. He is also a confidence man of long practice, he usually makes his living by war but when there is a lull in inter-national dispute he switches gravy-trains and lives f rom the purses of people like Roderigo. He holds the s t r ings of Roderigo's purse as if they were his own, Roderigo is an al ternative way of living in the absence of war. There is no other acceptable occupation other than the mili tary, he has served in the ranks and as an aide.

He is sure tha t his seniority war ran ts a command position but decides "preferment goes by let ter and affection and not by old grad-uation where each second stands heir to the first." There is nothing lago can do but to smart fo r re-venge, he cannot refuse to follow Othello it would put him out of work or demote him into the ranks of another army. He is compelled to wear his heart on his sleeve, a fete which is natural to him, and to act like the knave who;

Wears out his time, much like his master ' s ass.

For nought but provender, and when he's old, cashier'd:

lago is spurred and driven by a feeling of injustice which is as old as t ime, the man at the top will not admit tha t the one under him has the stuff and the man a t the top is a tyrant . Having been first sergeant and having walked in all the ranks below, lago is certain tha t he is qualified fo r captain or should, a t least, be the lieutenant. He senses the aff ront of social dis-crimination and class barrier. He has been thwarted by the class barr ier to be the aide of a black

Moor who has been a member of an even lower class than lago's. This is too deep a wound to his pride, he may not have a personal quarrel with Othello but his hatred is deep, it is against social injustice and Othello presents himself as a double symbol of injustice.

Another aspect of lago's char-acter is his clean service record. He has always presented the most pleasing nature to his superiors and is mas te r of the a r t of being in the r ight place a t the auspicious moment, he is a "brown nose" in the contemporary terminology. This characterist ic is most decisive in the process of coming through the ranks. There is another requisite of military diplomacy, he has learned to hide his personal feeling and opinion so tha t he is always the thinker and the acceptor of his superior 's ideas. He is honest lago, the ancient who is always there to perform the niceties, say the niceties and to expound pseudo-honest opinion when it is desired. He is obsequious, obedient, clever, undaunted and a good liar, all the necessary quaities of a good bureaucrat .

There are three pr imary motives for lago's action against Othello. The first of which is his resentment of Othello's refusal to honor seni-ority and provide a reward for lago's tedious years of exacting compliance as a good subordinate, lago has experience, a sterl ing record and a feeling of superior qualification. He should be picked for the job but the general an-nounces tha t he has already chosen his lieutenant. Whom has he chosen over superior lago ? Zounds, a mathematician, of all people . . . lago is not going to forget . . . his opening conversation with Roderigo is an oath of vengence. He will follow the black Moor but the idea tha t he is following him-self will keep him fighting, he is no longer concerned with second in command, he wants the com-mand.

The second principle motive is the hatred provided by the rac'al problem, discrimination against the minority group. Othello is black, a better organizer, more courage-ous and in a position to subordi-nate. The character of lago is too weak to live above this, it becomes a motive above all motives to do something to set the circumstances in the order which lago desires, lago is the white first sergeant of a colored captain, a humiliation which is unbearable to this lago. He also thinks, as a first sergeant, tha t he is most responsible fo r the efficiency a n d effectiveness o f Othello. Here is a member of the black outcast group who uses an elevated position, a position grant-ed by the grace of Whites, to f r u s t r a t e lago's ambition, hold him back in his mili tary career just because lago doesn't have the class s tanding and the political influence to qual ify for a lieutenancy. This is too much for lago's ambition and sensitivity, he has race super-iority to defend, he isn't going to be satisfied with second, he wants first place.

The third principal motive is coupled with the racial prejudice, lago is in love with this black Moor's wife, Dosedemona. Her beauty is irresistible and she is too pure and sterling to be defiled by the black Moor. Probably worse is the fac t tha t she is too fa i th fu l as a wife and tha t her social stand-ing is so much higher than lago 's tha t he would have no chance to

IMA LOVA YOU, MY SON by Robert S. Marshall

The putrid stench tha t arose from the canal was particularly strong on this sweltering July day. Although Mrs. Rossi had lived a good par t of her life here in the tenements she nevertheless fe l t its nauseat ing effects as ^ she climbed the three flights to her flat.

Josi would be home from work soon and the macaroni had to be put on in time.

As she worked preparing the supper Mamma Rossi glanced a t the pictures on the kitchen wall. One was Mr. Rossi, his face screw-ed up into a face of stone really unlike his natural unposed self. The other picture was that of her son Josi. Josi 's eyes were not like those of his f a the r ; they seemed harder, with a certain piercing quality.

Mamma placed the pot on the stove.

Since Pappa Rossi's death Mam-ma had looked to Josi for warmth and love. Time, however, had some-how changed Josi. At night when Mamma would t ry to talk to him the only response would be "shut up" or "damnit , leave me alone".

The water for the macaroni was boiling and Mamma put in the long dusty strands.

Thundering vibrations of foot-steps on the s tairs announced Josi 's arrival home f rom work. Mamma hoped tha t he would be in a good mood so she could sit and talk with him. It had been a long time since Josi and she had talked with each other.

"Damnit , this place stinks." Josi was home.

"Hello Josi." Mamma waited for

"Wat t sa da mat ta , Jo s i ? " Mam-ma cared to him.

"Aw nutt in Ma, why doncha leave me a lone?"

"Awright , Josi, Ima justa ask. I thoughta maybe you no feela good."

"Look, jus t gimme somthin ta eat and shut up, will ya." Josi fiddled with the spoons as he talked.

Mamma closed her eyes for a moment a t Josi 's last remark but then went on set t ing the table.

"Josi." "Now w h a t ? " "Nott ing, Ima jus ta wanna talka

Unfamil iar footsteps heralded a s t ranger into the tenement. Mam-ma paused screwing her face t ry-ing to determine who it was.

Josi straightened up and his eyes grew wide. The knock sounded very loud and Mamma noticed the s trange way tha t Josi seemed to squirm in his chair.

Mamma answered the door and a t once retreated a step a t the sight of the blue uniform of the city police.

"Mrs. Rossi." "Yes, a t t sa me." "Where's your son?" " W h y ? " "There 's been a little trouble and

we want to talk to him." "Hessa do nottinga;" "Maybe, Mrs. Rossi. Now where

is h e ? " The young officer nervously fin-

gered his night stick as he was confronted with the sad brown eyes of Mrs. Rossi.

"Jus ta minuta."- Mamma lef t the room. "Josi da police a t t sa here, wat ta you do?"

"What I do? What I do? What I do ? Why doncha leave me a lone?"

Josi ran into the other room. "Awright cop, I guess there 's no

reason to run any more. H u h ? "

"Not much." The policeman moved to Josi.

"Get your lousy hands offffa me, I can walk."

Mrs. Rossi ran into the room. "What ta my boy do?"

"I 'm sorry Mrs. Rossi, but your boy tried to rob Fetto 's grocery. Fet to tried to stop him and Josi beat him up. Fet to is in the hos-pital they think he is gonna die."

"Oh! Maddonna mia." Mamma sank into a chair.

"Well come on cop, let's go." "Josi, my lit t la baby, wha t ta you

d o ? " Mrs. Rossi went to her son and put her a rms around him.

"Get yer hands offa me ma, and quit slobberin' all over me."

"Josi, Ima you mamma, please." "You ready now, cop?" "Ok."

"Josi." Mamma sank again to the chair no longer able to hold herself up.

"You come over to the station a little later O k ? " The officer called back. "You know where it i s ? "

"Yes, Ima know." Mamma Rossi watched the re-

t reat ing forms. She arose and went into the kitchen and started to clear the table. Then she sat at the kitchen chair and looked out the window. Slowly tears formed in her eyes and she let her head fall slowly to her arms. " Ima lova you, my son."

The macaroni boiled over onto the stove.

Three About Four by Charles J. Lemmen

NECESSITY And once again I gaze upon the

flower Which time has slowly opened un-

to me — The flower f rom whose tight-closed

bud the bee Firs t drew the nectar which by

this br ight hour Is freely given, more thankful ly

received. For time and light and warmth

have overcome The hesitancy of this unspoiled one To give, though maybe la ter to be

frieved. If only tha t relationship could

last — The nectar plentiful and always

sweet. The bee not subject anywhere to

meet Another source of joy to hide this

tas te ; Hut fa te decrees that e'en this

flower must feel The st ing of t rus t deceived tha t

time can't heal.

I WONDER I wonder what he's thinking now, Or if it 's thought a t all. He's reached the goal he sought

so long, But what I am to call The place to which him death

t ransfer red From under the dark pall I know not nor will understand Till I the same way fall.

He called it heaven, what e 'er tha t means.

Whether land, or sky, or sea. Bur f rom what else he said, I

guess The form is not to be The most important factor in I ts benefits f o r me. For if I find what he had sought I'll live on charity.

But yet the image of his corpse. As there it lay in state, Does haunt my mind and make me

think The goal could not be grea t Enough to jus t i fy this loss Of him, which leaves to wait Alone the one who always did Her best to guide his fate .

Death certainly is very s t range In all its differing lights. To those who die it 's final peace Or full of hellish nights. But to the one who's left behind To face death 's stinging bites. It is a monster can't be fought , It fai ls to honor rights.

THE ANTICIPATION by Charles J. Lemmen

Single file, Indian style. Again they ride toward home; Years have passed Since they last Were followed to their home.

But even though So long ago They were also jus t beginning, This time the two. Still kind and true, Are their final glory winning.

The other time They led the line The carriages weren't horseless, The end the same, The chase so lame, But everything remorseless.

For then they Were on the way To parenthood and life; But now he Will f a the r be And ender of all s tr ife.

Through all these years. Many marred by tears . They sought this final goal; And now they've found That holy ground Where love awaits each soul.

The amazing thing Is tha t the r ing Which joined these two on earth Had sealed a love Like they've found above. Though mortals gave it birth.

TO AIR O N A

SPRING MORNING

by William Schrier

0 blissful, dewy air, f rom heaven sent

Though odorless, still yet so cool and sweet.

How oft ' it is on bright spr ing mornings of the year

That I do breathe thee to my heart ' s content!

0 would that we were like unto the birds

Who can enjoy, without res t ra int . The blessed f ragrance of the morn-

ing air T' express thy goodness,—feeble

are these words!

But pitiable he, ' though early 'wakening

Cannot enjoy thy full sublimity Alas, — with cares, and griefs, and

sorrows laden high We are so apt to pass thee idly

by.

But more pitiable is he who dost esteem

The Land of Nod above thy sweet good air.

Who sleeps is ignorant tha t thou a r t near!

Or one who loves to dwell the much the more

In regions of quiet slumber and of snore.*

How numerous are the lessons thou dost teach!

The air 's fo r all, both base and noble souls,

And 0 that we might learn ju s t this of thee

To shed our grace on all our fellow men

Regarding neither birth nor rank Regarding neither fame, — ob-

scurity.

We fill our lungs with thee each rising m o m

But would tha t we, with common impulse led,

Could fill our hear ts with this one grea t desire,

To do the good, — the bad, to loathe, to scorn!

* Could well be tha t this discordant note accounted fo r the many multicolored rejection slips!

Such a Busy, Happy Day

by Mary Holt Miss Matty and Miss Bessie are

a pair of sprightly spinster sisters. They are living out their peaceful, happy days in their lifelong home, a slightly shabby castle on the shore of the Sound.

Through the years they have spent a goodly amount of time sit t ing on the piazza, watching and commert ing upon the changes in their little world.

Half a mile from the shore and directly in f ron t of the house is Water Island. Miss Matty and Miss Bessy remember the time when it was merely a few hundred acres of barren sand and beach grass. They have watched its t ransformat ion into a bustling re-sort area. Now the island is crowded with luxurious summer homes, a hotel, a golf course, six hamburger stands and three pop-corn wagons.

For several years the business men and residents of Wate r Island had been clamoring fo r a bridge connecting the island with the mainland. Finally the idea was approved by the Powers, and this year the bridge was constructed. Miss Matty and Miss Bessie spent many happy hours on their piazza watching the construction, f rom be-ginning to completion, of the famed Sky Wate r Bridge. A marvel of engineering prowess and beauty, it provides an auto road from the shore to Wate r Island.

On this day the bridge had been completed. Starkly its silhouette was outlined against the evening sky. With proper ceremonies, it had been opened to the public, and now cars were coming and going over the pure arc of the Sky Wate r Bridge.

Miss Matty and Miss Bessie settled themselves in their rocking chairs to evaluate the situation.

"Really, Bessie, i t 's beautiful , isn't i t ? " said Miss Matty.

"Yes Matty, it is. It 's jus t

beautiful ," replied Miss Bessie. A pause. "But, Bessie . . ." "Yes, Matty." "Bessie, I've been si t t ing here,

thinking about something. I g rant tha t those men did a pret ty good job. At least the bridge doesn't cave in when cars drive over it. But Bessie "

"Yes, Mat ty ." "Bessie, doesn't it kinda seem to

you tha t it 's a bit unfinished?" "Unfinished, M a t t y ? " "Yes, Bessie. Finished as a man

would finish it, I guess. But f rom a lady's point of view I think it needs something more."

"Eh-eh . . . Matty, I think I know what you mean. Hmmmm. Hmmm. Matty, I know exactly

what you mean. That bridge needs a woman's touch. Matty, I almost believe I have an idea!"

Miss Bessie did have an idea. She really did. She hunched her rocking chair up close to Miss Matty 's , and the sisters went into conference about the practical as-pects of Miss Bessie's inspiration. Completely carried away with en-thusiasm, they not only stayed up two hours beyond their regular bed time, but also indulged in a highly i r regular glass of sherry. But when they laid themselves down to sleep they had worked out the details of adding the woman's touch to the Sky Wate r Bridge.

A t the break of day the sisters sprang f rom their beds with un-usual verve, and, pausing only fo r a swift b reakfas t of tea and crumpets, e n g a g e d themselves forthwith in their planned tasks. Miss Matty betook herself to the third floor sewing room. From a closet shelf she appropriated sev-eral bolts of fine quality chintz. A beautiful pattern, the pale pink background was generously sprink-led with lovely, unbotanical flowers. Dear Miss Matty unfolded the stalwart , reliable foot power sew-ing machine, and began her task of ruffling and hemming chintz.

Meanwhile, Miss Bessie was courageously at tacking her share of the bridge beautifying project. In the basement she found the two step-ladders and the two pair of roller skates which were essential to the plans. Miss Bessie's first task was to attach the wheels of the roller skates to the legs of the two step-ladders. Whether she did it by bolts, screws, nails or Scotch Tape is unknown, but she did it.

Then she scrambled up to the kitchen and f rom a t reasured heir-loom recipe, cooked up two gallons of water-proof, weather-proof glue. Miss Bessie and Miss Matty did very well tha t morning. But all of their efforts thus f a r were pre-liminary. The final consummation of their br ight plan was still to be attained.

At noon the ground work was completed. The girls fortified themselves with another round of tea and crumpets, and then began the last phase of their project.

Down to their shoreline, to the base of the Sky Wate r Bridge, they carried their equipment. The chintz, the step-laders, the glue. They placed a ladder a t ei ther side of the footing of the bridge. Atop each they put a bolt of ruffled chintz and a gallon of glue.

Fur ther details are almost re-dundant, since every newspaper carried the story. However, to re-capitulate the essential details, this is what happened.

Miss Matty and Miss Bessie mounted their respective step-lad-ders. They grasped Chintz in one hand, glue in the other, and pro-pelled themselves along on the roller skate wheels, glueing chintz ruffles to the bottom of the bridge as they advanced. They added the ladies' touch to a masculine a-chievement.

By the time Miss Matty and Miss Bessie had fastened the last of the ornament to the bridge span and were rolling their step-ladders up the beach at Wate r Island, they were understandably a bit tired. The delightful reception awaiting them erased every bit of weariness, however.

A goodly group of spectators were watching and cheering the finishing of their project. A Little German Band was serenading them, playing "Ich weiss nicht was sol es bedeuten"

Everyone shook hands with every one else. Then a nice college boy with a crew cut and a yellow convertible gave the old girls a ride home.

The last light of sunset still illuminated the Sky Water Bridge as the sisters settled themselves back in their chairs on the piazza.

"Such a busy, happy day," said Miss Matty.

" I t was, Matty. I t really was." "Bess ie?" "Yes, Ma t t i e?" "Shall we have a little glass of

s h e r r y ? "

NO PRETTY POETRY, PLEASE by S. Croswell

For lack of pre t ty poetry Man descended, gobbled up the

crumbs Of life — one, two, three And choked!

ULTIMATE RECOGNITION by S. Croswell

Oh I have sulked beside the sea And understood the love that bound The shimmering, simpering sand Unto the God almighty blue. A blue which licked it gently or Turned black with wrath fo r No apparent reason hurling Placid grains into unconscious dis-

sarray.

Repenting Reins are placed upon the

Dissarray and soothed, they sound Their virtue on a lustless, lucid

shore Forget t ing lack and wrath The sands pose silent and serene Heeding not my understanding love Each grain makes mockerey of

tha t th ing Which undisturbed, they feed to

hungry seas.

MAN AND TIME by Carol De Vries

Time so valuable and so useful Hurriedly passes by. I ts worth unrealized, its use for-

got ten; Time, never to return, never to

stop. Passes on, on —

Man so capable and so important Hurriedly passes by. His task unrealized, his duty for-

gotten; Man, never to stop, never to look

Walks on, on —

Man and Time pass hand in hand. Valuable but wasted. Forgotten and lost;

Unfinished task still remains Unclaimed but seen. Found and realized.

Another steps in, makes his t ry . First chance passes on To last chance;

Time is Gone, GONE!

DO YOU REMEMBER

by Yoshie Ogawa Do you remember the time We used to have at the foot of the

cliff? We picked up daisies and pansies. Do you remember the lane We used to take to go up to the

bluff? We took the lane along the cherry-

trees. Do you remember the swing We used to have till the sun set,

J e f f ? We tried to reach the heavens

above the trees. Do you remember the merry-go-

round We used to enjoy, J e f f ? We spent hours there by the daisies. Do you remember How old we were, J e f f ? Four years old.

Noises of Spring by Kay De Does

The piercing whistle of lovesick birds at three o'clock in the morn-ing. The sharp back of the t ra in on its first morning run. The t inny jangle of the beat-up alarm clock on the bed stand. The ugly roar of the traffic on the street below. The screech of the seven o'clock whistle from the paper mill. The gushing of the shower in the base-ment. The sudden blurt of the clock radio belonging to my room-mate. The hollow bong of the chapel chimes. The shivery squeak of the f ront door.

The yelping brats on their way to grade school. The crunching of razor sharp teeth of the squirrel eat ing his breakfast . The crash of students ' books on the desks. The thud of dutch feet on the floor above. The drone of the teacher 's lecture.

Again the yelping brats on their way home f rom school. The grind-ing of gears of cars headed fo r the baking beach. The bawling of soggy badies. The crackling of the sports commentator on television. The smacking of baseballs in the ball gloves.

The ra t - ta t - ta t of typewriters . The blast of the hi-fi set in the living room. The noisy squeak of the hot, sticky, uncomfortable, beat-up bunk at eleven th i r ty at night. AHHHHH!!! ! ! SLEEP!!!! !

ASA Adopts Crest The highlight of the ASA meet-

ing, May 17, was the official pres-

entation and adoption of a coat of

arms. Upon entering the auditori-

um, the girls found the crest creat-

ing an impressive focal point at

the f ront of the room. Miniature

copies appeared on the programs.

In the presentation, Barbara

Martin, author of the crest, ex-

plained its symbols and told of its

history. She pointed out tha t the

symbols are based upon the words

of the ASA song and represent to

all ASA members the purposes of

the organization. Built upon the

anchor of hope, in the f reshman

colors of green and white, it sym-

bolizes friendship, fa i th , and serv-

ice. The coat of arms was pre-

sented to Mary Ann Klaaren who

accepted it on behalf of the group.

At the conclusion of a program

featur ing various talent acts, the

girls sang the ASA song, relat ing

its words to their new, official

crest.

Cosmos May Day, All Sports Winners

On the s t rength of seven first places and five second places, the Cosmos won May Day, the inter-f r a t e rn i ty track meet, with a total of Sl 1 ^ points. The Praters , who led a f t e r the field events, finished in runner-up spot with 69 points. The Emmies, Arkies, and Kn'cks finished way behind in that order. The Cosmos have now won the event two consecutive years, hav-ing to come from behind last year also.

Cosmos took first in the pole vault, high hurdles, medley relay, 100-yard dash, shuttle relay, the 880, and the 220. The f r a t e r s re-ceived blue ribbons in the shot put, mile relay, low hurdles, and the 880 relay. Other firsts went to the Emmies in the high jump and broad jump, and to the Arkies in the 440.

Five new meet records were es-tablished and one was tied. In the high hurdles. Dale Schoon broke his own record of 17.9 seconds es-tablished in 1956 with a 16.9 time. Jack Walchenbach of the Arkies tr immed .7 seconds off the old 440 record set in 1952, circling the track in 56.8 seconds. Cosmo Je r ry Hendrickson tied Pete Bylenga's 24.3 record in the 220. F ra te r Jack Docherty hopped over the low hurdles in 22.6 seconds, breaking the old mark of 23.5, good since 1952. The Fra te r s also ran the mile and 880 relays in record time.

Individual high point winner was Jack Docherty with 17% points. Je r ry Hendrickson was second with 16^4.•

This big win fo r the Cosmos put them f a r enough ahead in the in-t ramura l s tandings to insure them of the All-Sports trophy for the second s t ra ight year. The Fra te r s will finish second, and the Knicks, who were fifth ast year, will place third. The Cosmos won individual trophies in football, bowling, ping-pong, volleyball, and track. The Fra te r s gained trophies in football, basketball, handball, and Softball. Other trophies went to the Emmies

Hope Splits Twin Bill With Olivet

Hope's baseball team split a

doubleheader at Olivet last Tues-

day, losing the opener 6-5, but

coming back strong in the second

game to trounce the Comets 14-2.

Ar t Olson, the Dutch third base-

man, was injured severely in the

fifth inning of the second game in

a collision a t first base with Bud

Dean, Olivet second baseman, in

t ry ing to beat out an infield hit.

Art f ractured his jaw and Dean's

head was gashed in the impact.

In the closely fought first game Hope picked up two runs in the first inning on Jack Faber 's single, Dave Woodcock's three-bagger, and an infield out, but Olivet secored three in tha t inning also. Olivet added a single talley in the second and two more in the fourth. Hope picked up a run in the third. Faber again singled, stole second, and came around on Olson's single. The Dutch added two more in the sixth, but it wasn' t enough to win. Olivet collected 11 safeties, only one of which was solidly hit. Hope had seven hits. Bob Andree was charged with the defeat .

Hope had no difficulty winning the second game behind the steady pitching of A1 Kober, who went the distance. Olivet helped mat ters out,however, committing nine er-rors. The big inning for the Dutch was the fifth inning, during which Olson was hurt. Hope tallied seven times.
